Maintenance and care

■
Starting the wheel drive reduces the cutting
performance or the operating time of the re-
chargeable battery.
■
To optimise cutting performance, it is recom-
mended to mow the grass often, to set a high
cutting height and to move the appliance at
walking speed.
■
Cutting performance in m² with 100% re-
chargeable battery charge:
■
42.9 Li: max. 400 m
■
42.9 Li SP: max. 400 m
■
46.9 Li SP: max. 500 m
NOTE
To prolong the operating time, an addi-
tional rechargeable battery can be pur-
chased.
Tips for mowing
■
Maintain a constant cutting height of 3–5 cm;
do not mow the grass to less than half its
original height.
■
Do not overload the lawnmower. If the motor
speed drops noticeably because of long,
thick grass, increase the cutting height and
mow in several passes.
■
Wind and sun can dry out the lawn after
mowing so it is better to mow in the late after-
noon.

8.2 Cleaning the appliance and mower
mechanism
IMPORTANT!
Danger from water
Water in the appliance causes short-cir-
cuits and destroys electrical compo-
nents.
■
Do not spray the appliance with wa-
ter.
■
Only use a broom or a brush for
cleaning.
1. Stop the motor (see chapter 6.2 "Starting and
stopping the motor (11)", page 37).
2. Pull out the rechargeable battery.
3. Unhook the grass catcher.
4. Tip the appliance onto the side and clean the
mower mechanism with a broom or brush.
8.3 Checking and renewing the cutting
blade
WARNING!
Severe injuries due to blade parts be-
ing flung out
A worn, cracked or damaged cutting
blade can break, and its parts can be-
come dangerous projectiles.
■
Regularly check the cutting blade for
damage.
■
Do not use the lawnmower if the cut-
ting blade is worn or damaged.
■
Only have blunt or damaged cutting
blades sharpened or replaced by an
AL-KO service centre or an autho-
rised specialist company.
■
To avoid vibrations, the cutting blade and
blade bolt must always be replaced together.
■
Resharpened cutting blades must be bal-
anced. Unbalanced cutting blades cause
strong vibrations and damage the appliance.
8.4 Adjusting the Bowden cable of the
wheel drive (optional) (17)
If the wheel drive can no longer be switched on
with the motor running, the Bowden cable has
become too long and must be tightened.
